Check out Post Games Podcast! I got a sneak peak of this episode while I was writing the intro and outro music and it's fantastic!

Really excited for future episodes! (And also super grateful to have contributed a small part to something so cool)

The award that changes the lives of its winners Plus: a limited, hand-numbered launch poster by Sonny Ross

For years, I hoped NPR, NYTimes, or the ghost of Gimlet would make a video game podcast. A weekly, hour-long audio magazine with essays, interviews, tight editing, and a cheeky sense of humor.

Nobody made the show I wanted to hear.
So, I made it myself.

Here's the first episode of Post Games.

It's been a while since I've done this, and the world is bleak - so we can all use a little art & creativity.

What is everyone creating nowadays? Games, art, music, video, writing, anything - whether it is early, almost done, or just shipped. Feel free to include trailers, images, links - whatever.

A column of fire envelops an RV in a pine forest late at night.

My bedroom and office reduced to ashes. The metal walls and roof are largely destroyed, revealing the forest beyond.

A class C RV gutted by fire. The heat of the fire has killed most of the plant life in a nearby garden.

A segment of an RV's exterior wall. The heat of the fire has melted through the aluminum panels.

An E-bike battery burned my house down on the first day of GDC. Seeking mutual aid from financially stable colleagues.
